I’m posting at silly-o’clock (20 past 4am) because she’s not settled at all, all night. She’s best with her head on my knee and reassuring words. She’s cold too and she’s never cold, so I’ve got the fire on and a blanket over her. I’m sure it’s the affect of the anaesthetic. She’s drinking, eating, pooing and weeing normally. I’m having tea and toast to keep going lol, night time TV is rubbish!
Hehe, welcome to my world of nocturnal activity. I'm working because I can't sleep! I hope she settles soon.
Sounds like good nightime cuddles are being had. Sure she will warm up soon and hopefully be back to her normal self. Have to say the lack of sleep does affect you after a while whilst trying to stay awake and doing work stuff (especially if it is boring).
I'm sadly used to it. I'm not one of this world's good sleepers, unfortunately. Luna (who woke me up in the first place) is now contentedly snoring at my feet.
So am I, previous jobs used to involve very little sleep due to traveling. Now it seems that Vanilla wakes up at random times, wakes me up with big licks and then if I try to fall back to sleep she starts again. Just as I am finally getting back to sleep the alarm goes off and wide awake is a little munchkin looking at me while laying on my chest. OH sleeping like a log throughout the night
Poor Tatze. Amazing you knew the difference in the crack sound - “a mother’s ears”! She’s lucky you picked it up immediately. I’ve never liked smoked bones due to all the chemicals they must contain to preserve them. They’re also usually weight-bearing bones, which are incredibly strong and hard. Snowie eats raw bones as part of his diet, but generally they’re venison vertebrae and ribs. If lamb, then he can get weight-bearing bones. Thankfully with beef marrow bones, he only scrapes out the marrow, doesn’t eat the bone. I hope Tatze enjoys her soft food for two weeks!! And wishing her a speedy recovery. I’m putting off the dentist - cracked a tooth on an olive pit many years ago, repaired then, but sore now... I can fully empathize with Tatze!
Just seeing this thread and wanted to add my "get well soon" wishes to Miss Tatze. I hope the rest of your night went better and she finds something in her two week soft diet to get happy about. Those sad eyes!
Poor Tatze. I hope she's feeling better this morning. The smoked bones that my friends left for my dogs are going in the bin!
Poor Tatze, you have my sympathies. I had to have a tooth removed a couple of weeks ago, and it is miserable.
Poor girl , hoping she has a better day today . Sam always reacts to GA too , shaking and cold , hugs to your lovely girl x
Thank you all. She didn’t sleep all night but could be comforted with her head on my knee. She’s had her meal and painkillers and is much more settled now .
She's been her normal self today and been for a nice walk. I'm pleased to say she's taken her tablets too (in blue cheese) she's a terror for eating the food and spitting the tablet out! All bones binned!
Moos the worst for taking tablets too. I have to really watch her sneaky little devil. Glad shes feeling more herself today. Hopefully it's all sorted now
Stanley is so greedy that when I give him the tablet I make him do a quick trick first and he gobbles it down in no time thinking it's a treat Literally trick or treat
Awwww. Poor girl and poor you. My little Jack Russell had to have some teeth removed a year or two ago because he has slight deformity in his mouth and I felt just terrible for him. That meant a few sleepless nights too.
